Investigators are trying to determine the cause of a fire that leveled Lakeside Tavern in Waterford early Friday morning.
At least four volunteer fire companies were first called to the tavern on Route 19 around 4:30 a.m.
Firefighters arrived to find a working fire that they started in the back of the restaurant.
It quickly spread to the rest of the building.
"The fire actually gained more momentum into the wood part of the roofing part of the structure," said Lt. Harry Latta, Stancliff Hose Company. "Within the first hour of fire fighting efforts, the roof collapsed, and all efforts were made to fight the fire from the outside."
No injuries were reported.
